Magazine

April 2011 - n. 01

We have decided to launch a project we have been considering for some time and which has no parallel in Italy. Our own magazine. A way of communicating with our clients, explaining who we are and what we do in more detail.
And it won’t be just about Cambi: we’ll be dedicating plenty of space to learned contributions from critics and art historians and keeping our readers up to date on what’s happening in the art and antique world with articles and reviews on exhibitions, books, museums and other cultural events.
With the first issue of our magazine, we also want to give a welcome to the survey “The art of savoir vivre,” which we hope will delight the most  curious and passionate the real bon vivants and travel lovers who wish to live the more pleasant and state-of the art experiences during their spare time.
A magazine in Italian and English because we want to be heard beyond our national borders, to create a lively dialogue that everyone can take part in, with comments on a whole range of topics as well as what’s happening at Cambi.
